Question

describe the location and the important features of the Indian Ocean​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Indian Ocean is bound on the north by Asia, including the country of India for which it's named, on the west by Africa, and on the east by Indonesia and Australia. It extends southward to the continent of Antarctica. South of the equator, the Indian Ocean circulates in a counterclockwise direction.

The most prominent feature of the Indian Ocean is its seismically active, rugged and inverted Y shaped Mid-Indian Ridge, which is cut by numerous north-northeast trending fracture zones. The seismic Ninety-Degree East Ridge, 4800 km long and the Chagos-Laccadive Plateau are the unique features of the Indian Ocean.

The importance of trade and the sheer scope of its many subregions make the Indian Ocean critical in terms of military and strategic engagement. It is a vital trading hub, connecting the Middle East to Southeast and East Asia, as well as Europe and the Americas.
